Pressure variation with heigh is given by
dP/dz = -dg (where dP/dz is differential and d is density and g is acc due to gravity in dg)
For air d= PM/RT
So dP/P = -(gM/RT)dz
gives P(z) =Po*exp(-gMz/(RT))
Where Po is pressure at surface = Patm
and P(z) is pressure at height z
 
Use this to find P(4150) and P(8300) and find difference. I have not done the exact calculation but I think it will come out to be 0.24 atm
(It can never be 2.4 and 24 atm as it must be less than 1 atm)
